Some ideas include the following:
- Extra Credit Friday
- Quiz Friday
- Recognize Students (shout outs in CC sessions) with most improved attendance or attendance goals met.
- Students with at least 80% attendance by the end of the month will receive a small gift.
Ideas from the Team:
Joe G. -Friday Freebie on Home page News. Students Kmail me back the answer to a simple Math question for 5 Bonus Points.
Katie Miraglia-
I do an extra credit discussion post on Friday’s for my Digital Arts class.
So far I have only asked silly questions like “what’s your favorite Thanksgiving food?”
